Karen Lord's Best of All Possible Worlds is prett sexy. And, though less sci-fi, so is Butler's Kindred if you're into large gaps in physical age.

I jerked off to Gateway quite a bit as a teen.

>doctor always made him go to the country, or go out west to get some different air.

Either the patient gets better in a different city or dies. Either way, he's not my problem any more.

Not all books are available in hardcover.

e.g. there has never been a hardcover edition of Drake's autobiography

Misogyny is cool. You need a cock to write or appreciate quality lit. You are that cock, anon. Be the cock. Tkae it into your mouth.

Read a lot of it. You've probably spent a few hours with Shakespeare or iambic pentameter. Do it for a month and then see if it makes any more sense to you.

Milton and Wordsworth both wrote in iambic pentameter if you want some variety.

Amazon erotica is a place where you can actually make money. Not like get rich money, but like I made some cash and didn't have to see another human.

Anyway, the "books" are short stories, around 7-10k words. Don't write generic porn. Pick a fetish that's hard to film, like body transformation or weird furry vampire from space stuff. You just upload the file with a cover (covers are hard) and then you get paid.

Most people don't buy the books. They have a subscription to Amazon Prime books or whatever it's called. You get paid if they read your book, btu they're paying Amazon a monthly fee for the whole catalog, like Netlfix.

I think the payment model is now determined by how many pages in your book they read. If they stop on page 10 you get less than if they read the whole thing.

Do some research before you start. Lots of online groups and discussion about the best way to get into this.

It's not good, but you can fix it. Go through and delete everything with an -ly ending. Some of your verbs are just jarring: "extricated", "sauntered" ?

Find some writing you like and type it up a few times. Pay attention to the verbs. There's nothing wrong with your grammar. You're just trying too hard.

Start with the greeks

This is an insurmountable problem. Looks like you'll be reading Chicken Soup for the Pre-teen Soul for now.

Regular ready of:

Poetry Magazine
Georgia Review

Paris Review

The Atlantic has been mentioned here. It's not a literary magazine.

Pushcart anthology is worth checking out.

Sturgeon's Law is in effect. Don't expect a literary magazine to provide timeless classics in every issue.

>her shorts now have a visible wetness between her thighs

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

The notion of queer has changed a lot, but in the sense that the character uses it -- that is, not sexually interested in women -- I would say that his statement is untrue and true at this sa----

Fuck it. This is shitposting in a shit thread.
